Colleges and degrees

edit

The article currently reads as though Beith first took a B.Litt at Balliol and then a Masters in PPE at Nuffield, aged 21. At Oxford, B.Litt was a postgraduate research degree while an MA follows from the BA undergraduate degree without further study. Nuffield is a post-grad college so I think it should read something like this.

He was educated at The King's School, Macclesfield, Balliol College, Oxford, where he read Philosophy, Politics and Economics graduating in 1964, and Nuffield College where he obtained a Bachelor of Letters (B.Litt.) degree.

Does anyone have a source to confirm my conjecture, please? --Cavrdg 21:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Methodist preacher

I am sure that I heard on the programme Question Time once that Alan Beith is a Methodist preacher. If any one can find a reliable and valid source for this, it would make an interesting addition to the article. Vorbee (talk) 20:48, 23 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
